Starting in the 1960s with the psychedelic band Nazz in Philadelphia, his solo career started out successfully with such hits as "I Saw the Light" and "Hello It's Me" (a reworked Nazz tune). With his 1972 release 'Something/Anything?' seen as a magnum opus due to its mix of power pop, rock n roll, and more. Utopia (or Todd Rundgren's Utopia) concentrated on eccentric progressive epics. His acclaimed production effort started early, with work for Sparks and the New York Dolls, and continued with Meat Loaf, XTC, The Psychedelic Furs, and many others. Continuing to release solo albums over the years, he's created many other hits, the novelty tune "Bang the Drum All Day" in particular seeming timeless.

Rundgren is well known among his fans as being an electronic music revolutionary. His skilled production techniques, matched by his belief that he has ability to play just about any instrument at a mastery level, has allowed him to release some of the most honest and personal music of his time. Many of his solo albums, including Something/Anything?]' were made completely by himself. That is, he played all the instruments, sang all the vocals, did all of the recording, editing, mixing, and mastering.

It was late last nightI was feeling something wasn't rightThere was not another soul in sightOnly you, only youSo we walked along,though I knew there was something wrongAnd the feeling hot me oh so strong about youThen you gazed up at me and the answer was plain to see'Cause I saw the light in your eyes

Though we had our flingI just never would suspect a thing'Til that little bell began to ring in my headIn my headBut I tried to run,though I knew it wouldn't help me none'Cause I couldn't ever love no one, or so I saidBut my feelings for youwere just something I never knew'Til I saw the light in your eyes

But I love you bestIt's not something that I say in jest'Cause you're different, girl, from all the restIn my eyesAnd I ran out before but I won't do it anymoreCan't you see the light in my eyes

Everyone always thinks of Hello It's Me" first whenever they hear Todd Rundgren's name. I rank "I Saw The Light' right up there with it. I think everyone old enough to remember these songs when they first came out smiles and reminisces whenever they hear them to this day. I would bet that lots of younger people also love hearing these great songs too.

Talking about the impact this song had on Rundgren's songwriting, he said: "I wrote this song in 15 minutes from start to finish. It was one of the reason that caused me to change my style of writing. It doesn't matter how clever a song is - if it's written in 15 minutes, it is such a string of clichés that it just doesn't have lasting impact for me. And for me, the greatest disappointment in the world is not being able to listen to my own music and enjoy it."

She came back to me though to tell me she was sorry, and she showed me pictures of her daughter who looked just like her. But I had changed, She had changed ,and time seemed to have changed everything so drastically. We both knew we could never go back to where we had been. They found her body at her home; Anne died of a drug overdose. I learned nearly 50 years ago when I was young what life was all about: Love, Loss, and Change - and how we deal with it.

@Ben Johnson: Yes, I'm a caregiver by trade - and that is definitely an art. I have to adjust the way I interact with each and every client. And there's always a need to think creatively and "outside the box." For example, I tethered one end of a nylon kennel lead to my 89-year-old client's headboard and duct-taped her remote to the other end because she complained that her tv remote slid down when she elevated the head of the bed, and she couldn't shut off the tv at bedtime. Works like a charm.👌

All the jocks at my station loved the way this thing started. Great to talk over, this short intro ahead of the vocal.

This song reminds me of the summer of 1975, when I fell in love for the first time. Great memories..

Love the scratchy sound, just like when you heard it on AM radio, Chicago WLS 89, anyone else from Midwest ?

From Wisconsin close to Twin Cities, at night the am waves would skip so we could listen to it. The best.

The first time I heard this song back in the day, I thought it was Carol King. Even today, it still sounds like her. I love Todd's music. He's a genius.

@Tuatha DeDanann That was Todd's intention; to show he could write, or produce, literally anything. He produced the Bat Out of Hell album!
